Following a violent back-to-back crime spree in Fairfax County that began with a rifle-point robbery in Tysons and culminated with the theft of valuable Pok mon cards, a California man is being charged, according to authorities.
Fairfax County Police have charged 36-year-old Mohammad Asif with breaking into a house in Fair Oaks shortly after a lady was robbed in a Tysons parking garage.
It all began on July 23 at approximately 9:07 a.m. when a masked suspect brandishing a rifle approached a woman who was strolling through the garage on Westwood Center Drive.
According to authorities, the guy grabbed her and took her phone. Before the police arrived, she was able to get away, and the shooter ran away.
Then, stranger things happened.
At approximately 9:25 a.m. that morning, the woman’s boyfriend received an alert from his home security system while he was on the scene helping her.
According to the authorities, he spotted someone breaking into his home on Plateau Drive in Fair Oaks when he pulled up the stream.
After rushing to the residence, officers verified that it had been broken into. High-value Pok mon cards were taken, but the robber was gone.
With assistance from the Fugitive Tracking and Apprehension Unit, detectives were able to swiftly identify Asif as the burglary suspect and apprehend him.
At a nearby home, he was taken into custody.
After being brought to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, Asif was accused of:
- Burglary;
- Two counts of grand larceny;
- Conspiracy to commit robbery;
- Conspiracy use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
They’re holding him without a bond.
Although the identity of the masked shooter has not yet been established, detectives think there is a connection between the home burglary and the garage heist.
This was not a random act, according to the police.
